Extremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields affect proangiogenic-related gene expression in retinal pigment epithelial cells
Objective(s): It is known that extremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF-PEMF) influence multiple cellular and molecular processes. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells have a significant part in the emergence and pathophysiology of several ocular disorders, such as neovascularization. This study assessed the impact of ELF-PEMF on the proangiogenic features of RPE cells. Mate...
متن کاملHistochemical study of retinal photoreceptors development during pre- and postnatal period and their association with retinal pigment epithelium
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to evaluate distribution and changes of glycoconjugates of retinal photoreceptors during both pre- and postnatal development. Materials and Methods: Tissue sections from days 15 to 20 of Wistar rat embryos and 1 to 12 postnatal days of rat newborns including developing eye were prepared for lectinhistochemistry technique. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-label...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 inhibits monocyte adhesion to retinal endothelial cells in high glucose conditions
PURPOSE Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is cytoprotective in the retina. The goal of this study was to investigate whether IGFBP-3 inhibits monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion associated with hyperglycemia. METHODS Human retinal vascular endothelial cells (RECs) were grown in normal (5 mM), medium (15 mM), or high glucose medium (25 mM) for 72 h. After 48 h, cells were t...
متن کاملExpression of IGFBP-3 by human retinal endothelial cell cultures: IGFBP-3 involvement in growth inhibition and apoptosis.
PURPOSE Growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), and somatostatin (SST) modulate each other's actions. SST analogues have been successfully used to treat proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) that is unresponsive to laser therapy and to retard the progression of severe nonproliferative retinopathy to PDR. In this study, the endogenous expression of IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-3...
متن کاملTNFα Inhibits IGFBP-3 through Activation of p38α and Casein Kinase 2 in Human Retinal Endothelial Cells
We recently reported a reciprocal relationship between tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and insulin-like receptor growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) in whole retina of normal and IGFBP-3 knockout mice. A similar relationship was also observed in cultured retinal endothelial cells (REC). We found that TNFα significantly reduced IGFBP-3 levels and vice-versa, IGFBP-3 can lower TNFα and T...
